Murmur in the arches on Brighton seafront
Murmur, Brighton seafront
There is no doubt that Brighton is home to one of the best food scenes in the UK and Murmur does not disappoint. The sister restaurant of Brighton-based 64°, Murmur was opened by Michael Bremner, an acclaimed chef from Aberdeen whose inspiration for the restaurant name is derived from the word ‘murmuration’ which is the shape that the starlings make when they flock and fly between the two piers here on the coast. Built into the arches of the promenade, the chic seafood spot is one of the best restaurants in Brighton and features a beachside terrace with uninterrupted views of the West Pier and the North Sea. A cocktail under the sun at the seaside? Yes, please.
